In a quaint turn of phrase that would make Sir Mix-A-Lot proud, owners Matt Cooper and Will Thorp of High Cotton say their barbeque is "all about the butt." High Cotton is an Outer Banks landmark, featuring pork smoked over hickory coals, giving it a smoky-but-sweet taste that is quintessential eastern North Carolina -- and making High Cotton the ideal spot for our rehearsal dinner on Friday, May 1, at 6:30 p.m. Southerners take their barbeque rather seriously, so guests from out of town should keep an open mind and a closed mouth when it comes to commenting on the BBQ, lest you offend someone else who's protective of their region's 'cue.
Chicken, shredded pork BBQ and traditional side dishes are among the items you'll love at High Cotton, and you can wash them down with some sweet iced tea, a distinctive brew from the Outer Banks Brewing Station or a glass of flavorful wine. Located in Kitty Hawk just across from the Hilton Garden Inn and right where the beach road begins, High Cotton is the ideal spot for an evening of celebration, camaraderie, conversation … and "Q" consumption.
